Token of Appreciation

Donation protected
Thank-Blue is a social + real life movement to show Police Officers that we support them in these difficult times. Give a token of appreciation and spread the word!
The more people we get to do this, the more Officers will feel the support and appreciation they so much deserve!

Tokens are FREE!
I’ve made 300 tokens for the first round and have sent them out to friends across the country. This Go-Fund me campaign is simply to cover MAKING MORE TOKENS and covering shipping costs to people who order them. For $1000 we can make 500 tokens and ship them anywhere in the US. Anything left over we will donate to the a Law Enforcement  Support Fund.

Here’s how it works:

          ·       Order a free token
          ·       Take a video or photo of you or your family and friends giving it to a police officer
          ·       Post to #Thank_Blue #TMFILT, #fit-to-enforce to spread the appreciation

Now what?

Feel free to just donate and support this great cause!  If you would like some tokens, for every $15 donated to this Go Fund me campaign we can purchase 4 more tokens to be produced in the next batch for you and your family and friends to hand out. If you want tokens sent to you- please let us know how many you would like and just note it with your donation and we will follow-up. For more information go to www.thank-blue.com

There are so many meaningful elements of the token design. Please read the background story and inspiration behind idea below!

 
I am not a law enforcement officer but I have spent my career working with them everyday. I wanted to find a way for the community to show their appreciation to our Law Enforcement Officers with a token of appreciation to THANK-BLUE!

These tokens are not for sale- they are gifts.  If you are able to get your hands on a token, you are meant to offer this "Token of Appreciation" to a law enforcement officer in your community.  

On the front of the token, there is a message that states "We Appreciate You," in a time like this, it is such a simple statement that simply demonstrates a gesture of support.
 
There are several messages on the back of the token:

1.  Stay Safe is printed on the Thin Blue Line- this is the visual and symbolic depiction that police are the line that keeps society from descending into chaos. The term first originated as a military reference and later was adapted by law enforcement in the early 1900's. The thin blue line has always been a symbol to law enforcement of pride in the work they do to keep the public safe from evil doers.  
2.  #TMFILT on the token that means "Tell my family I love them" (this phrase didn't get much publicity) but these were the last words of Anthony Dia (End of Watch July 4, 2020) of the Toledo Police Department. This is an example of the magnitude of the dangers these Officers face everyday.
3.  Stay Fit-to-Enforce is not only the name of a business I own, but a reference to the physical nature of the job demands that can change at a moments notice.  

Now more than ever, it is important to share these "Tokens of Appreciation" with a member of law enforcement.  They need to know that the community supports them and appreciates the work they do each day. If there is any evidence of this exchange, please share it!    

I would love to help showcase the magnitude of how many people in the community appreciate their good work... If you would like to help purchase the next batch of tokens, this is the place to do it. The money donated will purchase the next batch of tokens. If you donate and wish to disseminate the tokens in your city, please email kelly@thank-blue.com  or info@fit-to-enforce.com .

Each person giving a token, please video and post the interaction to Social Media.  Please tag #thank_blue, #fittoenforce and #TMFILT.  

Our goal is to flood social media with positive community support for the work law enforcement does to hold the line between order and chaos... Stay Safe and THANK-BLUE!
